Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I tried the peanut butter cups once. They're quite nice, a little too sweet, and they could use better quality chocolate and peanut butter. Particularly the peanut butter was kind of meh.

Tried oreos once too, and they just tasted like sweet cardboard to me. Mixing the two together sounds nasty.

Americans don't know good cookies.

Costco makes these 24-packs of chocolate chip cookies that I straight up have to avoid, because I lack the self-control to not eat like three or four at a clip, and when they're 200 to calories each, it's not good.

And I'm not fat, but I work hard to not be fat, and those cookies can undo an hour plus of real hard work in like five minutes. I love them, but I just can't have them in my house anymore.

Their strong suit tends to be candy. Most candy in the UK is either just different shades of the same gummies or uh... bad.

Love me a british cake though. American cakes are nasty with how dry they are lol

We do, though a single one costs as much as the entire package of “cookies” in the picture (unless baked right at home!)

seriously. there is a restaurant i know where a single onion ring costs a dollar (you don't buy them like that but y'know they are expensive is what i am saying), and here is the thing they are worth a dollar they are that fucking good. the rest of their food is a little pricey but oh my god those onion rings are fucking expensive. your god too. if you're an atheist please go get one for a minute this deserves the full court blasphemy.
